ISMA has many long-term agreements with enterprises in Latvia and abroad concerning study practice places. In addition to working on these questions, the Career Centre offers consultations regarding professional orientation, organises seminars and conferences, etc. The Career Centre is also involved in various educational projects.

Every autumn, ISMA organises the annual „Study Practice and Business” („Studiju prakse un bizness”) conference where students and employers – some of them ISMA graduates – share their experiences.
